NANUK Protective Cases and Gun Cases
About NANUK
NANUK has been engineering and manufacturing the highest quality injection molded plastic cases in the world since 1984.
The company initially started as Resentel Ltd. in Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada, before evolving into Plasticase Inc. with the launch of the NANUK brand.
The brand name NANUK was borrowed from the Inuit language and means "polar bear" - an animal that thrives in harsh arctic environments.
This reflects the brand's core inspiration: strength, fearlessness, and the ability to survive in the harshest of conditions.
Today, NANUK cases are distributed in over 50 countries worldwide and are engineered to stringent military specifications for professional use.
